This weekend was awesome! I was blown away by the number of people who brought friends with them who don’t normally attend a church. I must have personally met 50-60 guests. The cool thing was, these weren’t people who were looking for a church. What I saw was the invested of Palm Valley Church going out to the highways and hedges to bring in those who don’t know Jesus, that His house might be full!

I talked with a number of people who gave their life to Christ today. I talked with a number of people who aren’t ready to make that decision yet, but they now know that Palm Valley is a safe place to engage in the discussion. They’ll be back. I witnessed one kid yelling at his parents that he wanted to stay at church; loved little dude’s passion!

Overall, I left today with a sense of overwhelming joy, the joy that only comes from the presence of the Lord. I know He was present today, and that He was working in people’s lives, and that He was honored by what we did.

If you’re a Palm Valley-ite, I urge you to continue investing and inviting, bringing people far from God with you each weekend that they might meet with Him. I love being on this journey with such an incredible church family who are willing to live beyond themselves. Thanks!
